The Tinkoepel (Late Loch Tollenaar & Co BV) is one of the few remaining traditional pewter foundries left in the Netherlands. All products are cast and finished by hand. Authentic bronze moulds are used the oldest of which dates from 1697. In the charming 18th century tea house at the beginning of the Kalverringdijk daily demonstrations are given (weather permitting). The Tinkoepel has an enormous range of pewter products for sale here, the largest to be found in the Netherlands.

Pewter has been made in the Netherlands since the Bronze Age (1900 BC) for the manufacture of utensils and weapons. Pewter is a silver-grey metal. It is soft, elastic and malleable. Nowadays pewter products are made with a minimum of 92% pewter topped up with antimony, (a silvery white metal to make the pewter harder), and eventually a little copper (to make it tougher), This alloy is known as Pewter, although in the Netherlands it is known as ‘tin’. All pewter products and alloys are guaranteed to be lead free and therefore safe for daily use.
